Slouch Hat #2
 |
| Slouch Hat September 2016 |
I had enough yarn left from the first Slouch Hat to knit another. Wow, did the yarn have a surprise in store for me: it striped completely different. The first had a lovely swirl, and this one wanted to be more bold with zig-zags. I rotated the hat and snapped photos to show the striping.
I still have a bit of yarn remaining, but it's going in a bag with other scraps. It will tell me someday what it wants to become.
All the zig-zags swirled together at the top. It's been gifted to a knitting buddy that liked the way the yarn pooled and striped.
Great job it is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHa! I really like this one too. So different than the first. Yarn often does what it wants to do - lol.
ReplyDeleteThe differences in the two hats, from the same pattern and the same yarn, are amazing--rather like children from the same family!
ReplyDeleteLooks like lightning bolts! LOL Pretty hat. I had a sock blank with those colors.
ReplyDeleteI was also thinking lightning bolts. Pretty hats!
ReplyDeleteInteresting:)
ReplyDeleteIts sorta like it had a mind of it's own...:) They are one of a kind hats... that will be enjoyed I'm sure!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I like how Kristi said it's rather like two children from the same family. It's amazing how different they are but both are so beautiful.

I love your hats and especially the way the striping fell in place! Beautiful work Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThe different pooling is just amazing. Wow. Nice of you togift it Nancy
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool. I wonder if you worked from the other end of the skein to get this?
ReplyDeleteHad to go back to see the other one... weird how different they are.
